The past few months have been tough ones. Following our successful Kickstarter Campaign, we went straight to work on the mobile application we set out to build.

Fastforward to where we are today, Actioncraft Toy Box, the app that allows you to design and customize your own paper toy using the our very own (contender) template, is now on the app stores in soft launch. It has been for a couple of months now actually – we just gave our AWESOME KICKSTARTER BACKERS first dibs on the app itself since they were so nice to support us, hence the reason why I’m announcing this just now.

Meanwhile, the actioncraft dev team has been hard at work adding new features as well as a bunch of cool goodies into the app. You will see them soon enough, just as soon as we complete our Quality Assurance tests for the latest version. Once the app has been submitted to both Apple and Google app stores, I will let you know.

The Superhero Update is Coming Soon…

What to expect in the upcoming build? Bug fixes, drawing features, stickers, textures, and a boatload of new toys to play with. Just a hint, expect to see a lot of toy designs of superheroes INSPIRED by the slew of superhero movies we’ve been watching lately 😉

And to answer your questions – yes the app will be FREE, so you can have access to a lot of the app’s crafty goodness without having to spend for anything. However, we do have OPTIONAL advertisements that will help us earn some moolah so we can keep on churning out cool toys for you to play with – that’s right, us paper toy creators need to eat too.

Anyway, I’ll be posting more about the new superhero designs in the next few days so check back soon.

This is just to close off this run with archers, last week, we released the (Green) Arrow paper toy based on the “Arrow” TV series. Debuting this week is the “Archer” from the WB animated film “Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths“. It’s the Green Arrow’s equivalent from a parallel universe. I based the template on the the designs of the very talented Phil Bourassa – you should check his stuff out here.

You talkin' to me?

I just wanted to share an update. This is what I have so far – the toy shape is based on the BRUTE template, but with some minor modifications. The prototype in the image is still missing the arms – I didn’t like the result when I was experimenting with said modifications so I had to go back to the drawing board.

The final version should be ready in a few days. Check back again later this week.

What are you waiting for? You know you want to 😉

Lastly, in case any of you guys want day-to-day updates on the goings on over here, grab your phones and follow the papertoyadventures instagram account. I post a bunch of updates there that normally don’t find their way in here.

So in the next few weeks, I’ll be releasing even more Crafty Collabs, but I’ll be including a few of non-collabs as well. Which characters in particular, some of you can probably guess as I try to catch up to some characters that I wanted to release a while back but wasn’t able to. That, along with a new series of characters that I haven’t posted about nor has been requested for at all.

We’ve got another Crafty Collab for y’all! It’s another one from Rayenyson – the same dude who gave us the Superman,Iron Spider, and Doc Oc paper toys, just to name a few. As before, to see more of his stuff, go over to his site here.

Nightwing needs no introduction. This guy is big fan favorite, myself included. The costume for this paper toy is based on the Young Justice cartoon, which I think is the best-looking one so far.

Without further ado, here he is 😉

We have another Crafty Collab this month. This time around, the paper toy is based on a character from the Accel World anime series. The feature character is Silver Crow, the main protagonist of the series.

Credits and compliments go out to Ephraim (FM to his friends) Rulloda from the Philippines. He used Flash, Photoshop, as well as (ancient tools like) pencil, paper and a scanner to design this collab. Really cool I think 😉

FM sent me a couple more collabs to share with you guys. Watch out for those soon.

We start off this month with a uber Crafty Collab from the talented Mr. Emmo Hernández. He is a student from México, who, much like many mexicans, really loves tacos! Aside from arts and crafts and parkour, he enjoys any type of music related to Rock – Classic, Rock & Roll, and Alternative.

A looooong time ago, I mentioned in a post that I was making a paper toy based on Link from the Legend of Zelda series. The paper toy is finally finished and it’s high time I released the guy.

Just sharing with you all what else is in the works behind the scenes.

Take note, these “articles of clothing” are all removable 😉 You can fit them on any of the previously released paper toys (as long as it uses the contender template of course) then transfer them to another as needed.
